Invitation to all Apimondia members to present
national and traditional honey in
The Global Honey Bar
at the Apimondia congress in Copenhagen in September 2025
Dear Apimondia member organization
As decided by the Apimondia Executive Council, there will be no honey judging at the WBA. However,
honey will still be celebrated in many ways at the Congress.
A new and exciting event at the conference in Denmark will be The Global Honey Bar – every taste is a
journey.
The goal of the Global Honey Bar is to celebrate the diversity of honey worldwide and to give all
participants at the conference the chance to embark on a sweet honey journey around the globe.
At the Global Honey Bar, (GHB) each Apimondia country will get the opportunity to present 5-10 of its
traditional/characteristic honeys for all congress participants. A collaboration is expected if there are more
organizations representing one country.
To help the planning of space and facilities at the Global Honey Bar and to establish a point of contact in
each country, we kindly urge all interested countries to select a contact person and to send contact
details to honeybar@apimondia2025.com. We are looking forward to hearing from you!
A follow up mail with more details will be send within the next month.
Welcome to The Global Honey Bar -
Every Taste is a journey!
On behalf of the Apimondia local organizing committee
Zofuz Knudsen and Lars Fischer
